The speech comes as the administration pressures allies and warns of consequences for those doing business with Iran. Trump will meet with leaders including the U.K. and Japanese prime ministers, while also preparing to host Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House on Wednesday. The U.S. is expected to sign a new security agreement for Greenland in New York, and Trump has praised Xi despite reports of Chinese entities assisting Iran.
